response
This was about nolan riding his bike.Nolan just came back from Old Times Square.They had a Signing party for yearbooks.But many people made fun of Nolan and called him a Nerdy Kid.He was so embarrased that he cried when he got home.When he put nice things they made jokes about him like your so nerdy you brought a spoon to the super bowl.The tagger tagged two places,mr.greens's car and cedar creek bridge.Then he struck a third time and nowsteven the dad to part of the action

analyze
The relationship of nolan and his mom is good.They never argue or yell at each other.

Homework #57

1.It'll be different because teachers won't be as lenient as middle school and kids would act more mature.

2.Yes,because some sixth grade stuff is taught in high school but maybe in a much advance way.

3.I know in high school you take lots of test such as the SAT to get colleges to recognized you at your school.

Homework #56

My pages I read were about Nolan.The pages were about him going to Old Time Square.He went to find the red spray can but didn't find it.During the journey he saw 5 school friends.The main one he noticed was Bubba Bixby the Bully.When he was leaving he saw them and followed them into the park.When they stopped with other friends he took pictures.But didn't want to be noticed so when they were coming he started heading home.

Analyze
The relationship with Bubba and Nolan is Bad.Nolan always tries to avoid him so he would't be bullied even though nolan is in 6th grade and bubba's in 5th grade.

Roll of thunder Questions

1.The story takes place in Mississippi,because (on p.3)it says "Stacey and Christopher-John try to keep the Mississippi dust off of them."
2.The story takes place in 1933,I know because (on p.7) it says "now its 1933."

3.Challenges in 1933 were hard but one major challenge they faced was racism.The second challenge they face was the economy,with cotton because they didn't have that much money.I know because on ( p.48) the because they were called "Nigger,Nigger,Mud Eater !."During 1930 the economy lowered cotton price.(p.7)

4.I would react like them and try to retaliate if they do something horrible to me.I would retaliate because everyone needs to be treated the same way.

5.Yes,I think Mildred Taylor did capture the setting because she gave very important details,and shows examples of what it was like to live down south with the racism going on between white folks and black folks.

Why we shouldn't wear uniforms

Arguments over school uniforms have been going on since the beginning of school.But even though I go to school where I have to wear a uniform,I don't think that students should wear them.Bill Clinton said in his 1996 State of the Union Address we should wear uniforms because it would help stop violence caused by clothing and because schools needs to teach good
values and citizenship.Here's why its not needed.

I disagree with Mr.Clinton because we have to wear the same thing everyday.Some people wear designer jackets but it's not 100% of the world wearing designer stuff.Uniforms are helpful so your school will be recognized but it's not as good as wearing something you love to wear.So uniforms are not needed in school.No uniforms help students have more freedom.

When you buy uniforms it causes trouble for parents because they have to pay a extra $50.00 to $70.00 for a uniform.It tells that without uniforms saves money.Teachers and principals think uniforms stop violence but it doesn't because there is always two groups of children,good and bad so uniforms are not needed in school.As In First Impressions Shawna said "Clothes make the woman and the man.Certain people have different personalities so why are we wearing the same thing?

I disagree with President Clinton ,forcing students to wear uniforms is unfair,and it is also untrue that allowing students to wear their own clothes creates violence and stops schools from teaching good values and citizenship.Uniforms don't solve the problems their supporters say they solve.First of all,school uniforms won't stop inequality Violence can still happen with or without uniforms and students will still find ways to compare their clothes.It may be the jacket they wear to school or the sneakers they wear in gym class,but students will find a way to compete.Uniforms also don't stop peer pressure.Just like it says in "Say no to School Uniforms," students will still want to follow fashion trends,even if they can't wear the clothes in class.These are the reasons school uniforms can't solve the problems their supporters say they solve .But there are lots of other reasons students shouldn't have to wear uniforms.

first impressions

One passage I would use in my essay is when Shawna said the clothes make the woman and the man.What Shawna said meant what ever she would wear that will make her look different if she didn't wear what people liked.
